[Bug 1310864] Re: Desktop URL shortcuts, added from Firefox, are not movable

[Felix Kay]

** Description changed:

  Let's open http://www.ubuntu.com/ at Firefox, an then let's drag "Earth" icon left to site's URL, and drop it to the surface of our desktop-worktable. For now all is fine, icon-link (actually "The leading OS for PC, tablet, phone and cloud | Ubuntu.desktop" file at ~/Desktop) was created, we can open Ubuntu.com site by clicking it. We can delete it, or move to other folder as well. But we can't move it over the desktop surface, error message will be shown after such attempt:
  Error while copying “/”.
  There was an error copying the file into /home/renat/Desktop.
  Error opening file '/': Is a directory
  
  "The leading OS for PC, tablet, phone and cloud | Ubuntu.desktop" file is definitely a file, not a folder, it contains this data:
  [Desktop Entry]
  Encoding=UTF-8
  Name=Link to The leading OS for PC, tablet, phone and cloud | Ubuntu
  Type=Link
  URL=http://www.ubuntu.com/
  Icon=text-html
